I have never tried to identify my Dan Wesson revolvers. There is not an actual model # on either.

The .357 roll mark says made in Monson,Mass. No model #  anywhere . It's stainless with an 8" barrel , vent rib . Ser # SDO19764 . I'm only assuming DOM to be 1976 and that it is a model 715.....??

The .22 revolver, (Monson,Mass) has a blued 6" barrel with ser # AO29331.............Model 22 ??

I'm a bit more up to speed on my other handguns SIG's , CZ 75 , High Powers etc. but am VERY happy to have purchased these two revolvers. They are a thing of beauty and fantastic to shoot. Currently have my crosshairs on a .445 Super Mag that has me drooling. Ha

Would be grateful for any info on these two revolvers , DOM and significance of numerical prefix on serial #'s.

Thks kindly,

Walter

just want to ask has anyone herd why some .22s have that A in the serial number? I have two one .22 and one.22mag. I'm guessing they were an early edition gun from monson but don't know why they chose to use the A. Daytonoccasion

I believe it was sometime after 1981 that DW went to letter designation of cartridge and model. In 1986 they used the actual cartridge and B for blue, S for stainless.
